This map is based on Bamyan Province, Afghanistan. This is the New Zealand Defense Forces (NZDF) province. A BLUFOR will be used until the NZDF faction is in Project Reality. You can see the NZDF Faction progress here.

The situation (background story) is that the BLUFOR start at Kiwibase in the North-East and have to either Hunt for caches or establish FB's (game mode dependent) whilst also holding on to their FOB situated a little south of Bamyan Town. Taliban forces will have to set up ambushes on the trails and treacherous roads while also assaulting the FOB to keep BLUFOR at bay.

General:
This map would be like Operation Archer in the north (terrain wise) and then more like Korengal in the south. I think this would be a great combination allowing for different types of fighting depending on where the player is.

A FOB and an ANPF police station will be placed into the map. They may/may not start off under BLUFOR control. depending on game-mode and final placement i may have the Taliban hold the ANPF police station and the BLUFOR controling a capturable FOB. Still at very beginning stages tho. The famous bombed budha's would be just outside of the combat area to the north of Kiwibase.

BLUFOR mobility will be far superior to that of the taliban. However, this comes at a price because the Heli require a skilled pilot to land in some of the tight spots if they want to stay safe.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INSURGENCY:
The map would follow an alternative layout.The type of gameplay i am going for with this would be sporadic ground fighting in the clusters of houses whilst searching for the caches. Very little fighting will take place near Kiwibase, BLUFOR will hav to go out and "find" the Taliban. I wish to use the cache system that Dr Rank is putting into Sangin to try and slow down the BLUFOR (due to small map size if more than 1 cache is available Taliban will be too disadvantaged by being out manuevred).

COMMAND AND CONTROL:
Again the map would be alternative layout. This game mode would be far more realistic seeing as the "fight" in Bamyan isn't about exterminating the enemy but rather about maintaing a presence in the area. This would allow for heavy fighting over small areas of territory. To spice up the game a little bit there will be "defender friendly" terrain in quite a few places. BLUFOR will still maintain their high mobility except this time ALL their vehicles will be on spawn timers at the beginning to let the taliban gain a foothold in the main town. BLUFOR will hold the FOB and so this will allow them to mount attacks from a closer position than Kiwibase. For this mode i would like to incorporate a Chinook (to encourage resupply of cut off FB's) even though the NZDF don't have any chinooks they frequent the base and FOB's in Bamyan. If possible i would prefer to use an NH90 though.

I dont think CnC versus insurgents will work,unless you do the additional coding

There are quite a few issues with it atm but it should work out fine. The only thing they would not have is the ability to place defensive assets (wire/foxholes/mg's etc). If the Hideout if used the same way a FB would be used then it should be fine.

Tough that might be fundamental issues for cnc,cuz building defences can be quite important

Atm im working on it. With the type of defensive terrain in the area the taliban will be defending it may work out quite well balanced. NZDF will undoubtably have to place at least one FB outside the town in only mediocre cover.

Sounds good,good luck then

Also,the NZDF uses alot of the stuff thats already being creted by community factions,so i suggest using a placeholder faction (america/brits/usmc,or when its done the ADF because its closer to NZ),and then once most of the community factions are done you can ask em if they want to donate some of your stuff.

I am using the USMC as my placeholder currently. Dno wt's happening with the NZDF mod. Tht thread kind of fell to bits so i may end up offering this to the ADF if they want it.

Please remember that this is very very WIP. The green is a default texture im using at the moment. As is the brown on the mountains. i will retexture mountains to be like the ones in Korengal and ground will be similar to Archer.

[WIP] North Side Mountains:

Starting to make these mountains. taking a while tho as i keep running into the max height the mountain can be therefore it is looking a lil flat on top. This will hopefully be solved by the tym i release new screens.

Still alot of minor details that are critical in gameplay to be added (small grooves, gnoles, cracks etc). basic shape is almost complete tho. Keep in mind that little play should occur at the top of this mountain as it is prety much ryt on the edge of map. It is steep so players will choose the flatter center of map to travel through rather than the Mountain.

[WIP] KiwiBase:

I stuck this base in just for all the ppl who want to spam asking "wheres the BLUFOR base gna b". Base is pretty much just Op. Archer US main with a few minor changes. This is just a placeholder for the moment until i figure out my plan for Kiwibase. Layout is pretty much as it will be in the final release. Airstrip for Hueys and Chinook/NH-90.

Feel free to suggest things. All help makes the map better and therefore more enjoyable when it gets out to the PR community.

Maybe take out that runway, is ridiculiusly small for any plane to take off from that (i know there arent planes but just saying for a background atmosphere) maybe move the rear hesco barriers dividing the runway with the rest of the base more in towards the base and then places a heli pad?
